    The Conduction Rate Equation

     Recognizing that the heat flux is a vector quantity,


    we can write a more general statement of the
    conduction rate equation (Fourier’s Law) as
    follows:

     Thermal Conductivity:
    A measure of a material’s ability to transfer thermal
    energy by conduction. Ksolids > Kliquid >Kgases
